Nowadays, vehicle transport services are common for transporting cars across country. A lot of people consider relocating their cars, yet they do not know the numbers of car being transported each month in the United States. Recently we have conducted a survey and consulted with few of the industry’s biggest giant to know the numbers of car they transport per month on average. After consulting with more than 50 moving companies in all states, we came to know about following results:

More than 200 thousand vehicles were being shipped during the month of October.

About 2.3 to 2.4 million vehicles have been shipped in the last 12 months.

Note: while we were surveying, our focus was only used cars. So these stats only reflect the numbers of used cars being transported.

You might be wondering who the biggest consumer of vehicle transportation industry is. We have figured this out during our survey and found following facts:

Individuals, who are relocating across the country because of personal or professional reasons, mostly prefer vehicle transport services to take their cars along with them.

People, who have purchased cars from sellers in other states, did hire vehicle transporters for moving car to desired address.

Even though there are strict laws regarding distracted driving especially using cell phone while driving, yet number of accidents due to texting and calling is increasing. Therefore, recently United States transportation board has urged lawmakers to ban use of gadgets during driving.

In a recent talk with lawmakers, the US National Transportation Safety Board has discussed a number of reasons why accidents occur. Among these reasons, distracted driving because of use of gadgets was the foremost factor that is causing hundreds of accidents every year. Therefore, to keep control on this issue, NTSB has listed Distracted Driving as its one of the major and necessary priorities of coming year. It has suggested lawmakers to strict gadget using rules while driving to ensure automobile and mass transit operators such as auto transporters and household good movers do not get distracted. The ban on use of cell phone will bring noticeable decrease in rate of accidents in next year.

In its report, the NSBP’s officials referred a number of accidents and fatalities occurred in recent years just because of distracted driving. Most of these accidents were involving electronic and playable gadgets. It is strong supporting evidence, which is why NTSB is asking to make use of devices illegal until it is necessary for a particular job.

A mixed reaction has been observed due to this call. While some of the organizations have favored this appeal, many are against the ban of electronic devices. Especially, the Consumer Electronic Association (CEA) regards it as too heavy handed. It says that law against texting and calling to prevent distracted driving are enough to end this issue.

No specific decision has been taken against this call for ban on electronic devices so far. However, it is expected that law and enforcement agencies will revise the situation to at least strict rules for some special kinds of devices.

Cost of vehicle transport services sometimes is high for numerous consumers. Therefore, they do not get a chance to save a considerable amount of money on transporting their cars. It usually happens when you hire services of a highly class auto transporting company. Professional auto transportation companies set high rates for their services because of their expertise. However, it does not mean you cannot get their services at affordable car shipping rates. By considering few money saving tips, you can easily reduce the car shipping rates of a professional mover to a considerable level. It requires you to be smart and think of following suggestions while getting quotes:

Choose Open Transportation

Whether you choose open or enclosed trailers for your car shipping, professional companies always move car safely. Therefore, you should choose open auto transport carriers. Since it costs 25% to 40% less as compared to enclosed transportation, charges will likely be less if you choose open transportation.

Avail Terminal to Terminal Car Delivery

Selection of car delivery services is also important as it has major and direct impacts on cost to ship a car. There is no option but to choose door to door delivery if you need to ship an inoperable car. Otherwise, choosing terminal-to-terminal car delivery is much better because it has less impact on vehicle shipping rates. However, it requires you to be on time to collect car.

Practicing these tips while getting quotes can help you to get affordable rates to a considerable level.
